Joe Stafford: Hello Jeff,

What in the world is Chril Long doing letting MJD knock him out of bounds when he should have cleaned MJD's clock?
Jeff Gordon: Good hit by MJD there. Low center of gravity. We saw today why he is one of the best in the NFL.

Josh: Regardless of if we win this or not at least we had the lead. Small victories are all we can hope for at this point.
Jeff Gordon: Too bad the offense died without Avery. The defense gave this team a chance to win.

UTG: Hey Gordo,

1). What would it take to trade for Julius Peppers (unhappy player in the last year of a contract)?

2). If the Rams were able to sign him to a new contract (either through a trade/contract extension or free agency), would his ability to put pressure on quarterbacks be enough to make this an effective D-line in Spagnolo's defense, or would more changes still need to be made?

Thanks
Jeff Gordon: I doubt the Rams will be looking to pay extreme dollars to a veteran player at this early point in the rebuilding process.

chris: hey jeff

where we really going to trade steven jackson??
if we where im really really confused about the rams
Jeff Gordon: As we saw today, the Rams might has well fold if they don't have Jackson. He willed the team downfield for that game-tying field goal.

Tackleberry: Gordo,
Why does this team, historically, struggle to convert 3rd and 1's? With a back like Jackson it should be advantage Rams every time.
Jeff Gordon: On a few of those in recent weeks, Gado was in the game spelling Jackson.

Moving forward, this well-paid offensive line needs to move the pile in those scenarios. The Jaguars have every confidence in its group in that situation -- and that is not a great line.
